Neil Mackenzie Posted 13 January , 2009 Share Posted 13 January , 2009 Chris. I am not far from Mitcham but the only time I can get there is at weekends and my time then is very limited. However, I have made a note of your request and will get there if/when I can. I will also keep an eye on this thread to see if anyone else offers and can do it before me. Best wishes.

Hambo Posted 13 January , 2009 Share Posted 13 January , 2009 Chris If it helps he is listed among the war dead of Croydon in the book Croydon and the Great War Entry as follows Flecker, H Pte R Fus Educated High School Croydon D of pneumonia '15 If he's recognised in this book then it's very possible he is on the Croydon Memorial assuming of course that it has names on it. Personally I haven't seen it but maybe someone more local could check it out for you. Ditto if there is a memorial at was once the High School also assuming it's still there as well!

Neil Mackenzie Posted 14 January , 2009 Share Posted 14 January , 2009 There are no names on the Croydon memorial itself but the names are in the book and, now, online. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambo Posted 17 January , 2009 Share Posted 17 January , 2009 Chris Did a quick google using Neil's information and this is your man here http://www.croydononline.org/history/the_w.../roh/byname.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Mackenzie Posted 17 January , 2009 Share Posted 17 January , 2009 The Croydon online memorial has an H Flecker listed under 1915 whereas the Times notice was from 1916 - how strange. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Mackenzie Posted 14 February , 2009 Share Posted 14 February , 2009 Chris. Finally got around to going to the Cemetery and tracked down the grave. It is not in a good state. The inscription says:- In Loving Memory of Hubert Hope Flecker Royal Fusiliers Who died 17 June 1915 Aged 22 Years and 10 months Chris - PM me your email and I will send you the full size pictures.
